Long Aotian and Kushida Kikyo's Cooperation

I am truly a genius, hahahaha!

Long Aotian replayed his plan in his mind and prepared to put it into action.

As he opened his dormitory door, his body suddenly froze; he seemed to have forgotten something.

"Ayanokoji's room... what number is it?"

"I'll call Sakura; she'll know." Long Aotian finished speaking and pulled out his phone to dial.

"Aotian, what's wrong?"

A sweet voice came from the other end of the line~

"It's just that you gave me the key to Ayanokoji's room, but you didn't tell me the room number."

"Ah! I forgot to tell you. It's in Building X, Room XXX."

"Got it. Let me know what you want to eat later, and I'll bring it to you."

"Okay~"

After hanging up, Long Aotian checked that no one was around and quickly headed toward Ayanokoji's room.

Reaching the door, he knocked cautiously. After confirming there was no response, he took out the key and opened the door to enter.

The room was very tidy, with almost nothing unnecessary inside. Long Aotian looked around, thinking to himself that this really suited Ayanokoji's low-profile personality.

He placed a [Flying Thunder God Mark] and teleported back to his own dormitory.

There was nothing worth seeing; there was nothing there at all. He wasn't going to steal his quilt, was he? Long Aotian didn't have that kind of fetish, but his goal had been achieved.

Ding~

A text message suddenly arrived on his phone~

Long Aotian took a look; it was a photo from Yamauchi. Judging by the room, it didn't look like Ayanokoji's—it must have been Ike's room. As expected, plans always hit snags.

"Yamauchi, what are you doing?"

Ike watched as he inexplicably took a photo in his room, smiling like an idiot.

"Nothing, I'm just envious of your room. That game console is the one you bought when school started, right?"

Yamauchi put his phone back into his pocket and said.

He had prepared an excuse before coming, so it wouldn't be full of holes like last time. He felt gratified by his own cleverness.

"Oh, yeah. By the way, we haven't hung out in a while. Let's go to Ayanokoji's room and gather."

Ike didn't pay much attention to it; after all, finishing his own business was what mattered most.

He didn't mention it was a celebration party, as that would be suspicious and inexplicable, so he changed his wording to make it easier to persuade him.

He felt pleased with his own wit, and the thought of one hundred thousand points made him happy.

Afterward, Ike took Yamauchi and planned to find Kushida Kikyo to go to Ayanokoji's room together. After all, a gathering of just two people was a bit weak, so finding one more wouldn't hurt.

If Sudo were still here, it would have been the three brothers going, but since Sudo had been expelled, our considerate Kushida Kikyo was chosen instead.

At this moment, inside her dormitory, Kushida Kikyo had just finished her call with Ike. She slowly lowered her phone, and the cute smile that had been on her face gradually vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Her beautiful eyes seemed to be shrouded in a haze, revealing an aura that made one's hair stand on end. Her originally luscious lips were pressed tightly together, forming a cold, grim arc. The atmosphere in the entire room became oppressive due to her sudden shift in mood.

She was in a terrible mood now, because she was being threatened by Long Aotian, and Horikita Suzune was borrowing money to investigate the mastermind behind Sudo's victimization.

Talking about thinking of the class's future, yet Ayanokoji stood by without saying a word. Don't you know we're already out of points!

In the end, it was Kushida Kikyo who had to use her connections to barely scrape the points together, but this caused great damage to her image.

"Damn Long Aotian, and Horikita Suzune, are you sick? Standing on some high moral ground to talk to me. If you want to investigate it so badly, why don't you borrow the money yourself!" Kushida Kikyo said angrily, but she didn't break anything; after all, this was her own room.

After venting for a while, Kushida Kikyo calmed down and adjusted her state; she still had to go to the gathering.

Ding-dong~

Just then, the doorbell to Kushida Kikyo's room rang.

It startled Kushida Kikyo, who hurriedly regained her composure. Immediately after, a natural, cute smile blossomed on her face.

Creak~ As the door opened, a boy with short black hair appeared before her.

"It's you again, Long Aotian. What exactly do you want?"

Kushida Kikyo didn't give Long Aotian a pleasant look, immediately reverting to her original expression.

"Oh, don't be so unwelcoming. Would you mind inviting me in for a sit?"

"Come in."

Kushida Kikyo checked around the doorway, confirmed no one was there, and said.

Long Aotian walked in with a light step, scanned the room casually—it was as clean and tidy as Sakura's room, with no unnecessary decorations—and found a place to sit down.

"Speak, what's the matter?"

Kushida Kikyo sat down opposite Long Aotian and asked bluntly.

She did not believe that Long Aotian had come over just to say hello; after all, he held her video, so he was likely here to threaten her.

"I heard you've been looking to borrow points lately?"

"So what?" Kushida Kikyo's eyes narrowed slightly as she complained, "It wasn't even for me; Horikita Suzune asked to borrow them. If there hadn't been classmates around, I wouldn't have lent them at all!"

"Just say it, what do you want? Cut the small talk."

She had no patience left now. Since the person opposite her already knew her true colors, it didn't matter anymore, and she had a gathering to attend later.

"Fine, I'll get straight to the point. I know you must be unhappy that I threatened you, so I've decided to change my approach to get you to do something for me." Long Aotian finished speaking, pointed at the refrigerator, and added, "I heard you've been looking to borrow points. How about this: I'll give you points—I mean give, not lend—so would you mind getting me a drink?"

"Give? I don't think you're that kind-hearted."

Kushida Kikyo didn't move, continuing to stare at Long Aotian.

"Sigh, I came here with good intentions to try a different method, but all I get in return is distrust." Long Aotian shook his head and continued, "Besides, you don't have any points left, do you? If you don't care about your image, then I don't care either."

Kushida Kikyo thought about it and realized it made some sense. It didn't seem to have any downsides for her, and once the points were in her hands, there was no way he could take them back.

"Fine, how many points?" After saying this, Kushida Kikyo stood up and went to the refrigerator to grab a drink.

"One million points. You still have Ayanokoji's fingerprint-stained clothes, right?"

Long Aotian watched the girl go to the refrigerator and smiled with satisfaction.

"One million points?" Kushida Kikyo held the drink, her movements pausing slightly, before she asked, "Are you planning to make a move against Ayanokoji?"

"Indeed, that is my intention, and this will be of great benefit to you as well. From now on, I will sponsor your points to help you expand your social circle; after all, the points you spend on making friends are not insignificant." Long Aotian pointed at the drink as he spoke and added, "Hand me the drink."

"I still have the clothes, but why are you suddenly being so kind?" Kushida Kikyo handed over the drink as she spoke.

"I don't like repeating myself. You're a smart person."

Long Aotian took the drink, opened it, took a sip, and said.

"Fine, I agree. I will keep the clothes safe. If you need help with anything in the future, just call me." Kushida Kikyo compromised helplessly; after all, the other party held the video, and the points offered were indeed quite tempting for her at the moment.

"I hope our cooperation goes smoothly." Long Aotian finished speaking, set down the drink, and proactively extended his hand.

Although Kushida Kikyo was confused, she still politely extended her hand, shook his, and replied, "Happy to cooperate."

He took out his phone, the two quickly added each other as friends, and then Long Aotian transferred one million points to Kushida Kikyo.

After finishing his drink, Long Aotian stood up and walked in a direction that didn't lead to the door, but straight toward the refrigerator.

"Since I've provided you with points, I'll pack up and take the things in your fridge. You don't mind, do you?" Long Aotian said this while pulling a plastic bag from his pocket and beginning to pack.

Kushida Kikyo's mouth twitched slightly as she asked suspiciously, "If you can afford to give me a million points, it means you have plenty of points. Why don't you just go buy your own?"

"Good question, but I'm just too lazy to go buy them. Isn't it more convenient to pack them up right here?" Long Aotian turned his head and said to Kushida Kikyo.

"You bastard!" Kushida Kikyo finally exploded. She stood up abruptly, glaring at Long Aotian with a face full of rage.

"Oh, don't be so angry," Long Aotian said. After finishing his packing, he looked at the seething Kushida Kikyo, a sly smile curling at the corner of his mouth, before he quickly opened the dormitory door and slipped away, leaving the furious Kushida Kikyo behind.
